Can we have a thread about what the hell to do right now?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
First of all, I'm an idiot when it comes to anything financial. I know many of you aren't. What is the safest thing to do with the money (fiat) that we do have right now? Leave it in our local bank? Credit union? Keep it as cash in my sock drawer? Also, the money in my 401k? Switch it over to bonds or something else I don't fully understand? Any thoughts from someone who's been paying better attention to these things than I?
For what it's worth: I fell for the "sky is about to fall" pushed by a friend; even though I had no witness to it. I stocked up - a lot of the stuff went out of date. Got some silver and stashed some cash. Still have a freezer filled, larder stocked and got loads of vegetable seeds.
What next? No idea, but I am at peace. I pray for the satanic system to fall and proclaim Ps 94 daily. Whatever comes, I know the Lord will see me through. Rest and trust in Him, stay alert and listen out for the still small voice.
This is the best advice one could give. The PRIMARY point.
When evil is crashing all around you, turn your heart to the good above all else.
I feel oddly calm right now.
There is a church across the street from my house. Seventh Day Adventist. Their practice for funerals- at least this parish- is to have basically a wake/viewing but the body remains at the church and loved ones stay overnight with it and then the funeral is the following morning.
The church has a stained glass window that is beautiful, especially at night. It is rare to see it back-lit at night though simply because usually no one is there at night. Last night, they had a wake so there will be a funeral this AM, thus they have been there all night. I got up early because my body clock is off from the time change. But I just looked out the window and enjoyed the peace of it.
Knowing this is going to be a wild week, I found it grounding. Yes, it will be rough, but basically, God has this. I would encourage all of us to find that little thing to hold onto because the news will be flying fast and it is easy to get caught up in the panic. But also find the peace of the "unconnected world". Play with the dog and watch him smile. Let your cat sit on you and listen to her low contented purr. Enjoy the first cup of coffee as the sun rises. Whatever does it for you....just remember - WWG1WGA!
💕 to my fellow 🐸.
I can assure you this is not their practice. It's the practice of that church.
I think Catholics practice that too.
